Pink Pineapple Smoothie

I have a brand new toy.
It's an Optimum 9400 blender from Froothie.
A new blender means a new smoothie. So I created this Pink Pineapple Smoothie.

No, I haven't discovered a new fruit, the main ingredient is pineapple, but the smoothie comes out a glorious pink.

So what do you want to know what else my beautiful new toy can do?

So far I've made smoothies, pesto, hummus, pizza dough, pizza sauce, soup and lime curd all made in minutes, sometimes just seconds.

What else can it do:

chop vegetables in seconds

crush ice

make shakes

make sauces

make dips

whizz up dressings

grind nuts into flour

grate cheese

grind coffee beans

whip cream in 10 seconds

turn nuts into dairy free milk

make slushies

make cocktails

make chocolate mousse

make sorbet

make ice cream

knead bread dough

make frothy vegetable omelettes

make custard

lots more .........

It's much cheaper than a Vitamix too and comes in at £329. That may seem a lot, but after using cheaper blenders I can honestly say they are a false economy. They just don't have the powerful motors, can't do half of what you want them to do and will burn out quickly.

Have I got to one of the best bits yet? Did I tell you it's self cleaning? Just add some boiling water and a drop of dish washing liquid, then whizz at full for a few seconds, then rinse under the tap. Voila!

Oh and it blends rocks. I know mad right? If you have a look at the website you will see them blending rocks in it.

I love it! It's a handsome beast too, so I leave it out on my counter top.

Wow- this looks like it's comparable to the Blendtech too. I have a really good food processor, which I use in cionjunction with a grinder, a juicer and a hand blender and that covers everything. I make soups, pesto, juices, sauces, smoothies, peanut butters- you name it! That smoothie looks awesome btw x

My jug blender cracked ages ago and now my stick blender seems to have given up too so I am looking for a reliable blender and I think this could do the job, if only I were no longer a skint student! The pink pineapple smoothie sounds really tasty too :)

I need this in my life right away! I love it that the they are confident enough to offer and 10 yr warranty ! And they demonstrate it by grinding rocks ! wooho !fancy that! I love your pink coloured smoothie too it looks yummy Jaq!
